Hello, Hypothetically speaking, what happens if you have larger arms and have lipo and skin removal to the upper arm which then becomes smaller than your forearm? Would a plastic surgeon realize this could be a possibility as they’re performing lipo & brachioplasty to your arms or would it be a “surprise” once I’m healed and notice my forearm circumference is larger than my upper arms? Would I need to then come back for forearm lipo and lift? I’ve read on this website that forearms are not a popular body region for lifts/lipo. What can be done for the forearms?
